The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 397

Chapter 397

In her embarrassment, Corinne frowned and turned her head so she could whisper to Jeremy. “This is on you, mister! It’s so awkward to come empty-handed to a birthday party, and it’s all because you didn’t tell me beforehand!”

Jeremy did not take her comments seriously and reached out to pick up a barbecued meat skewer from the grill. He took a bite before handing it to her.

“You didn’t give me a present for my birthday, so what makes you think I’ll let you give a present to someone else?”

Corinne was speechless at his response and took the meat skewer from him. As mature as Jeremy seemed, he was sometimes very childish in the sense that he placed too much importance on such trivial things.

Indeed, it was because of a misunderstanding that she had with Jeremy over Anya’s sudden return to China that led her not to give him a present. However, Annie insisted to bring her shopping and buy gifts. Though she did not buy the present on her initiative, she did buy one, but it later went to the bin

when she saw Jeremy hugging Anya in the Lunar Century Manor.

Jeremy threw the car keys in his hand to Zeke. “Here. This is your present.”

Zeke caught the keys and stared blankly at Jeremy as if he had been bestowed with the greatest honor. “You’re sure you’re not joking? Are you really going to give this sweet ol’ thing to me?”

“You don’t want it?”

Zeke stuffed the car keys into his pocket at once. “I do, I do! That’s so kind of you, and I’m more than happy to accept it!”

Corinne pulled Jeremy to one side and complained, “Don’t you think it’s too half-hearted of you to give someone a second- hand car for their birthday? What kind of a friend are you?”

Jeremy pursed his lips, placed his hand on her head, and explained, “There’s nothing in this world that he can’t get, but that car is a commemorative model with only one limited edition in existence. Not even money can buy you that, and he’s been asking for it from me since ages ago. I was only willing to part ways with it for your sake today.”

Corinne was speechless. He was so good at cajoling her that he went so far as to say that he was giving his friend a gift for her sake.

However, that sports car was indeed a limited-edition vehicle that not even money can buy. Jeremy traveled in an MPV every day, and the car was practically 90 percent new because he had never driven it. Moreover, it was something that the birthday boy had always wanted, so it could not be considered rude to give him that even though it was a second-hand item.
